State Senator Lois Kolkhorst
Senate District 18

November 3rd was a special day for freedom-loving people of Calhoun County! The Calhoun County Republican Club hosted our State Senator Lois Kolkhorst from Brennan, Texas as the guest speaker. The event was held at the VFW Hall in Port Lavaca.

After a delicious meal catered by the Pantry Restaurant, Senator Kolkhorst came up to the front to speak. Before she got started she presented Connie and Ed Hunt a proclamation commemorating their son Corbin Hunt for his service to the community and his fellow firefighters. Corbin passed away September 20, 2020. Connie Hunt is the secretary of the Calhoun County Republican Club and vice-president of the Calhoun County Republican Party.

State Senator Kolkhorst touched on a wide variety of subjects including immigration, property taxes, and voter integrity. Her district which is Senate District 18 will continue to include Calhoun County in spite of changes in the make-up of the district. Senator Kolkhorst spoke about losing some counties and gaining others due to the changes.

The meeting was well attended. Everyone appeared to have a good time. A Christmas party is planned for December. The Calhoun County Republican Club generally meets on the first Monday of each month. Russell Cain of Russell Cain Real Estate is the president.
